The Palos Verdes Stables was originally established in 1926 and covers 3 ½ acres of City land. Since its inception, the stable has sought to continuously improve its facilities and enhance its services. The stable boasts one of the cleanest stable facilities and grounds in the area, top-notch trainers for both Western and English riding and 24-hour security.

In 1992, a new barn was constructed, and in 1997, two new barns were built.Originally leased out to private contractors until 1983 (when the City assumed management), the stable returned to a concession arrangement with a private contractor in 2000.
